Photo courtesy Northrop Grumman. Nida-Core Corp. enjoys great success with its new core designed for RTM, infusion and other closed or vacuum assisted processes. Composed of a layer of PU, phenolic or flexible polyethylene/ polypropylene foam covered with a reinforcing fibre layer on each side, the three elements are linked together by glass fibre bridging strands which go through them obliquely, forming triangulations in the mechanical sense. The reinforcing materials are woven or non-woven glass, carbon or aramide fibre fabrics, or additional reinforcements which are available in the marketplace.
Nida-Core is proud to announce the opening of its new, larger distribution centre at St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada. The expansion will help us better support our canadian customers and distributors. Along with our partners we can also offer CNC cutting services, plug machining and advanced engineering services for the composites industry. The distribution centre is fully stocked with our Nida-Core Structural honeycomb, Balsalite, Matline, Nida-Bond and panel products.
Structiso and Structiform cores allow for rapid infusion of resin without the use of resin transfer media at a very affordable cost. Designed for infusion, RTM and closed matched die molding, this new product is set to revolutionize the closed molding process.
